>Very recently, Nerdist’s science editor/host of Because Science Kyle Hill and I engaged in an hourlong discussion about the complicated and paradox-infused time travel mechanics of the animated series Samurai Jack. It’s true–we did that. There were diagrams, and pictorial evidence. This is the power of Genndy Tartakovsky’s show, which recently wrapped up its 10-episode revival/finale. We’re going to miss Samurai Jack on our TV screens, but that doesn’t mean we’ll have to miss Jack himself. IDW is bringing back (back to the past, that is) Jack in his most universe-hopping adventure yet.
Writer: Fabian Rangel Jr. Artist: Warwick Johnson Cadwell

>The return, courtesy of writer Fabian Rangel Jr. (‘Namwolf) and artist Warwick Johnson Cadwell (Tank Girl), takes the form of a series titled “Quantum Jack.” The story will, as the name would indicate, toss Jack into a Quantum Leap-esque time-hopping situation, but with alternate realities instead of timelines. After getting zapped by an experimental Quantum Ray, Jack is sent hurtling into one alternate reality after another, his memories erased but his spirit intact. If you’ve ever wondered what Jack would be like as the leader of a ruthless biker gang of bounty hunters, you’ll finally have your answer.
>“I’m beyond thrilled to be working on new Samurai Jack comics,” Rangel Jr. said. “Samurai Jack is a huge influence on my storytelling… I think fans of the show will dig what Warwick and I have been cooking up!”
>Cover A >variant Genndy will provide another variant.

What's the point of continuing it? The original IDW series ended with Jack staying in the future. Is it picking up after where it left off? Also, holy fuck that style.

Wait, is this going to be a follow-up to the comic or the show ? Why continue it ? Both continuities already had their endings. Or is this a new thing entirely ? >that awful artstyle Please, no. Jack can never rest, can he ?
Julian Robinson

Cadwell is a bit of an acquired taste, but I'd sooner a newer take than another artist sticking too close to the show's look.
Sebastian Bennett

Juan Gutierrez
I mean, I don't mind the artstyle itself, but why in the fuck did they think that it's somehow fitting for SJ? What is this autism?

Jacob Young

Because we need more Jack Damnit! We were so long without it we'd forgotten how much we needed it. Like a man needs water. Now we've had but a taste and we are ravenous for more.
